WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints;
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemical: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
